In Maps in Mirror, photographer and writer John Smith takes us on a journey through time and space, exploring the relationship between maps and our understanding of the world.

They can be used to control and manipulate people, or to inspire and empower them. In Maps in Mirror, Smith explores the many ways that maps have been used throughout history, from the ancient world to the present day.

In Maps in Mirror, Smith uses a variety of maps to explore the ways in which our understanding of the world has evolved over time.
